Mel Rosen retires as RH crossword editor

Mel Rosen

Mel Rosen recently announced that he is retiring as a crossword editor for Random House. We all wish him the very best and hope he has a nice, relaxing retirement. Here is his announcement:

"I have notified Random House that after 26 years (coincidentally the same time I spent in corporate life) I am retiring from editing other people's crosswords into collections. Casual Crosswords Volume 6, *for which I have enough puzzles in hand* will be my last. I've returned nearly all the snail-mail puzzles I won't be using to their authors. I'll try to clean up
my e-mail in-basket in the next couple weeks, but you may immediately assume that any puzzles you've e-mailed me with grids larger than 15x15, any specialty puzzles, and any 15x15 puzzles deliberately meant to be harder than Monday-Tuesday are yours once again, but I expect to reply
individually.

There are no relevant health issues. Just travel and other stuff without
deadlines. And probably more freelance puzzles here and there.

I don't know if RH plans to produce collections of previously unpublished
crosswords. If they do, I have no idea whether they've selected another
editor.

I'll see many of you at ACPT in Brooklyn in a few weeks."
